BUDDY I''M HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM..WHAT'S GOING ON...HELP!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT SHARE VIDEOS TO MY FACEBOOK, EVERYTIME I HIT SHARE FOR FACEBOOK, IT SIMPLY CREATS ANOTHER WINDOW OF THE VIDEO I'M WATCHING...

In Firefox 3.5 I got some errors, but it did eventually share... though the link back from my Facebook page seems like it might be defective. Any more details folks can offer on the specific errors you're seeing (and which browser(s) you're seeing them in)?

You might want to bring these issues up with Facebook as well. The problems I've seen so far look like connection issues with their servers, for the most part. This thread has been tagged, however, for further staff attention in case there is something YouTube can do on their side of the connection.

Please, help me somebody...I do have the same issue - can not share ANY video with Facebook & already for more than a month. Youtube team has never answered to any of my 3 emails to them concerning this problem. I use Firefox 3.5, re-installing of it did not help either. :(( What to do with this?

I faced this problem too and found a pretty good solution...while in your profile in your facebook, click "options" under the "share" button then "settings" then "import stories form youtube"...this posted my latest vid which is what i just wanted

There is another way...you can connect the two accounts so that everytime you upload a new vid to youtube, youtube will automatically post it in your facebook wall...to do this, go to youtube;log-in;hover over your name located on the top right corner,click "account";"sharing";"autoshare options";add service:Facebook...save

@dollfaces28: have you tried checking your capslock? maybe youtube does not allow you if you have not confirmed your e-mail add yet..
@ Jay NaPier: using autoshare... what i noticed is that youtube does not immediately post your videos or whatever to facebook, it takes an hour or two or more before you can see youtube post it...that's the case with me..i don't know how it work with anybody else
@ ThisBoyTV: Thanks buddy! just sharing what i know because i know how it feels to be helped..

Hey guys I am having a similar issue.....I hit the facebook share button and it opens the window but just has a link not the photo of the video.....it has been going on for several days now I use firefox...but I have not tired another browser....but I think it must be something else....hope there is a solution soon

That reminded me of a previous unrelated (I think) post. That "s.ytimg.com" site was blocked by the person's browser so all content coming from or going to it was blocked. If this feature requires it, you have to unblock it. That varies by browser but for IE8; Internet Options, Privacy tab, Sites button, if that site's in that list you need to unblock it.

go to ur fb home and u get a dialog box (whats on your mind?) there you have to click on link so that you can post a link.

In another tab or window go to the video on youtube which u want 2 share and copy the URL which is situated above the embed and on the right hand side of the video.then go back to fb and paste the URL and click on attach. then you can write something about the video and then share

I'm not sure how those seeing this problem are doing the sharing. When I use the link from the video's own page, the video shares fine. FWIW, I'm using Firefox 3.5.7 and the Facebook link that appears under the "Share" link that appears under the video itself, at least when I'm viewing the video page and not my channel page. But the facility from my channel page also seems to be working.

I'm puzzled, though not for the first time. I do notice that there's a bit of text identifying the source as YouTube in the FaceBook link, but that "link" is not clickable, so I assume it's only there as fair warning to one's FB friends, to allow those who might have a dislike for a given site to avoid following links to a general site that they've decided to boycott or avoid?

hey everyone ... after months of desperate clicking and searching i finally found the answer on the facebook page itself (!) .. as far as i'm concerned we're all having the same prob - if not, sorry 4 keeping your hopes up.

i followed this instruction from the facebook help center and i can finally post all the you tube vids :) :

To ensure that links are published when you click "Share", please verify that you have allowed the Links application to publish these stories. To check, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Application Settings page, accessible from the Settings tab at the top of any Facebook page. 2. Click "Edit Settings" to the right of the Links application.3. Click the Additional Permissions tab.4. Make sure that the "Publish to streams" box is checked.

Additionally, please make sure that your "Status and links" privacy setting allows your friends to view your status and shared links. You can adjust this setting from the "Profile" section of your Privacy Settings page.

Are you referring to a YouTube video watch page? It should appear to the right of the share button. If you have a screencap, or can make one to show this problem, I'm sure staff would be interested to know that, along with possibly relevant details. For instance, did you happen to connect your new Facebook account to your YouTube account, using the links that appear in the expanded sharing section? (The stuff that appears on the page if you click the "Share" button).

These features have changed a lot since this thread started back in July 2009, so a lot of what you read in this thread may be completely irrelevant and even misleading for how the new layout approaches these features, by the way.
